Beauty Conferences in Australia

Beauty conferences in Australia lean strongly towards aesthetics, skin science and business, with a growing number of summits for lash and brow artists. They are a chance to learn from leading clinicians and educators without leaving the country, and to meet peers from across Australia and New Zealand.

The 2027 programme opens with COSMEDICON at the Hyatt Regency Sydney in February. May is especially full: the Australian Aesthetics Symposium meets at Pan Pacific Perth, Aesthetic Business Masters gathers at W Melbourne and The Lash Summit Australia comes to Surfers Paradise. The Non-Surgical Symposium follows on the Gold Coast in June, Cosmetex runs at Paradox Sydney in August, and the IFSCC Congress brings cosmetic scientists from around the world to the Perth Convention and Exhibition Centre in September. Before then, the ASAPS Conference takes place on the Gold Coast in November 2026, and the Melbourne Lash and Brow Conference and the ILM Industry Awards usually run each September.

Every beauty conference in Australia is listed below with dates, venues and who can attend.

Where the conferences are

Conferences cluster in Sydney, Melbourne, Perth and the Gold Coast, and most are held in city hotels or convention centres. Fly into the nearest major airport and use the local trains, trams or a short taxi ride to the venue. On the Gold Coast, the G:link light rail runs through Surfers Paradise and Broadbeach.

Booking your stay

Many Australian conferences are held in hotels, such as Hyatt Regency Sydney, W Melbourne, Pan Pacific Perth and JW Marriott Gold Coast, so staying at the venue saves travel time between sessions and evening events.

Getting the most from a conference

• Check who each conference is for. Medical aesthetics meetings may be limited to doctors, nurses and registered practitioners.
• Book early for reduced registration fees and limited workshop places.
• Ask whether sessions count towards professional development points in your field.
• Leave time for the trade area, where suppliers often show new devices and products.
